Firefox on Mac finally working again!


2009/09/01

I finally have Firefox working again on my Mac. I had tried everything reasonable - remove all plugins, reinstall, remove preferences - but had no luck. Today I went fill nuclear, tracking down and removing EVERYTHING even vaguely related. If it had "*mozilla*", "*Mozilla*", "*firefox*" or "*Firefox*", it got destroyed. I then downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox for Mac, installed and now, after months of pain, Firefox once again works on my Mac.

Sheesh! Can someone tell me why all this crap can't be in one place? Pick a name, any name, and make ONE place under my login to hold it?

Or if you can't do that because it would just cramp your style too much, how about a freaking remover that already knows where all the bodies are buried and can go vaporize them on demand? Is that so much to ask?

Funny thing: apparently it's supposed to be that way: Profile folder - Firefox certainly seems to imply that. Maybe it is that way - maybe I've just done too many installs of other experimental stuff? I don't know, but I'm glad to have Firefox back.

Not that Safari is so horrible. It's not, but Firefox is better. Or is better when it is working, of course.

Now I need to try putting back the plugins I like and, with luck, this will keep working and the Fox and I can go back to our former happy life together.
